1.3.4. Interpret Simulation Results

If you encounter timing or signal integrity issues with your high-speed signals after running simulations, you can make adjustments to I/O assignment settings in the Quartus® Prime software.

You can adjust drive strength or I/O standard, or make changes to the board routing or topology. After regenerating models in the Quartus® Prime software based on the changes you have made, rerun the simulations to check whether your changes corrected the problem.
